| This has been here for years and is spreading like a wildfire. It's either a perennial, or it reseeds itself very prolifically. It's about 2 ft or so high. My mom has tried to kill it with bleach, round-up, uprooting it etc., but it won't die. We live in zone 5 Indiana.

| Sorry, I'm not getting Daucus carota from that (especially from the foliage, and the inflorescence should be subtended by bracts)... it's Aegopodium podagraria. |

| I totally agree. The foliage was throwing me off too but it looked so familiar (back lane is full of it but it rarely blooms).

| Thank you all for suggestions, Aegopodium podagraria looks more like it. I wasn't convinced of Queen Anne's Lace beacuse the leaves looked way different. |

| Good luck on getting rid of this one. It has my whole community by the roots. |

| I don't know if I can dead head it all lol, it goes over three sides of the house, behind the garage, and a bit of it is getting into the back yard, and I can't spray all of it either without affecting some hostas and ferns that are being overshadowed by it. |

It's not so much self-sowing as extremely invasive fine roots with this one... It can be eradicated with time, but it tends to be more work than most people like!

| Rather than spray, you can Paint roundup onto the leaves with a small paint brush...lessens the danger to other plants in the same area. |

| The foliage on the first picture threw me off, too.
I'd trade having Aegopodium as a weed over palm tree seedlings ANY day of the week ! |
